Ep. 14 | "DIY Stages of Warped"

If you know the Warped tour you’ve seen an act or two at one of the side stages. What you probably didn’t know was whether that stage was actually part of the tour or if it was set up without permission! Hear the stories that led Kevin to eventually learn how to use the word “No” as he catches up with some legendary DIY stage managers to chat about their greatest successes and worst memories from running a stage. From fights, to riots, to weather destruction, every stage had its own vibe and its own experiences.
